Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Kaiseki cuisine was developed along the lines of Zen Buddhism. Kaiseki refers to the image of a saint being held in his arms, and its form is “one juice and three dishes”.

Kaiseki comes from Zen Taoism. It is said that in order to resist hunger while listening to Zen for a long time, one holds a stone in his belly, which is called "Kaiseki".

Although Lin Daoqiu is not very particular about food, he often cannot eat enough when he goes out to eat in Neon.

Especially these neon dishes, which emphasize exquisiteness and artistic conception, are obviously not prepared for satiety.

"Mr. Lin, I have communicated with everyone after I returned."

Isao Matsuoka only had Yoshikawa Shoichi with him today. Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he got a good response after returning.

"Chairman Matsuoka, please say..."

"Dongbao generally agrees, but I still hope that Mr. Lin can change the share ratio to 30%, please."

In fact, Isao Matsuoka lied here. When he brought this matter up when he went back, some people were against it and some were in favor of it.

In the end, because of Lin Daoqiu's reputation, everyone felt that it would be profitable to cooperate with him, so most people voted in favor and agreed to invest 100 million in exchange for 20% of Lin Daoqiu's new play.

However, for Matsuoka Isao, if he can get an additional 10% share, it will increase Toho's income beyond his imagination.

So today I invited Lin Daoqiu to discuss matters. Isao Matsuoka wanted to try his best to get an extra 10% of the share.

"no……"

Lin Daoqiu picked up a piece of shrimp sashimi and put it in his mouth. It seemed that he had not considered giving in at all.

Not to mention the 10% more share, even giving the other party 20% would feel like it was too much. However, he would not take the initiative to say it in front of Matsuoka Isao.

In fact, Isao Matsuoka had thought that Lin Daoqiu would refuse before this.

"Mr. Lin, you said before that the new movie will be shot in Neon, so you came to Dongbao to cooperate. If this is the case, isn't this part worth the 10% share?"

Isao Matsuoka is really a bit arrogant. Is this kind of cooperation worth more than 50 million US dollars?

So when Isao Matsuoka finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but smile.

"President Matsuoka, if you may not be happy, I can give you a 20% share, which is already a very good thing. If you want more, then I really can't do anything."

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't thought about acquiring MGM and saved a little more money, he wouldn't have even thought about cooperating with Dongbao.

Sure enough, after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, one look at the expression on Matsuoka Isao's face showed that he was not very happy.

"Mr. Lin, if... if Dongbao is responsible for all the funds for this shooting, how much of the share can it get?"

At this time, Yoshikawa Shoichi suddenly asked a question that surprised Lin Daoqiu.

He raised his head and looked at the other person, his eyes full of doubts.

The US$200 million is just a base. Lin Daoqiu himself has no idea how much the final production of this drama will cost. It may be more, or it may be less.

Dongho is so brave that it is willing to spend 200 million US dollars to invest in a movie.

But this is entirely because Lin Daoqiu's record is so strong. From the first movie he made until now, he has never failed.

And at this time, "Godzilla" swept through major movie markets around the world like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

As long as Lin Daoqiu's new drama maintains the same level, the money Dongho can earn will be astronomical.

"It's still 20%."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out two fingers without even thinking about it.

Until this time, Yoshikawa Shoichi and Matsuoka Isao had realized that Lin Daoqiu would not increase the share of the new drama, and they would either cooperate or quit.

"Is there really no way to change it?"

Isao Matsuoka looked very unwilling.

"I'm sorry, this is the final result. If President Matsuoka cannot accept it, then there is nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Isao Matsuoka couldn't continue to pester him. If Lin Daoqiu got annoyed by talking too much, he might cancel cooperation with them.

After all, Toho is not the only film company here at Neon. He can definitely cooperate with others. This is something Isao Matsuoka definitely doesn't want to see.

"If that's the case, then according to Mr. Lin's words, Dongho will invest 100 million US dollars in exchange for 20% of Mr. Lin's new play."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Lin Daoqiu stood up, shook hands with Matsuoka Isao, and the matter was discussed happily.

However, for Matsuoka Isao, this is definitely not a result that makes him happy, but the matter has reached this point and he can't change it.

…………

The next day, Lin Daoqiu took Junko out of the hotel and planned to travel around Neon to find filming locations for new dramas.

But this time, Yoshikawa Masaichi and several of his men personally served as Lin Daoqiu's guide, and were responsible for taking care of Lin Daoqiu's food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way.

They set out from Tokyo and planned to walk around the neon lights. Lin Daoqiu's original intention was to take Junko on a tour. As for the filming, it was just a side trip.

For a whole month, they would arrive at a new place almost every day, and being able to be with Lin Daoqiu every day was simply the happiest thing in the world for Junko.

She even hoped that Lin Daoqiu would stay in Neon and stay with her all the time. Then she would be extremely happy.

But it is a pity that Junko can only think about such things secretly in her heart. After all, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to stay in Neon for her.

A month later, Lin Daoqiu returned to Tokyo with Junko and Yoshikawa Masaichi.

After visiting many places, Lin Daoqiu roughly selected some places as filming locations.

Sometimes you can also work while playing, which is simply a wonderful thing.

Lin Daoqiu even thought that it would be okay for him to make a landscape film. Then he could film all the places that impressed him that he visited during the month.

Then I will destroy all these places in the movie, and the scene will be very shocking.

But this was just Lin Daoqiu's own idea. He didn't tell anyone, not even Junko.

After staying in Tokyo for a month, Lin Daoqiu had to leave for Xiangjiang. After all, he had stayed out for too long this time. It had already been nearly two months. If he didn't go back, the backyard would be on fire.

After reluctantly separating from Junko, Lin Daoqiu boarded the plane leaving Neon.

This trip to Neon was very profitable for Lin Daoqiu, and he also took away a check worth 100 million U.S. dollars when he left. It can be said that he had both food and fun.
